Walter Cronkite, the CBS News anchor who famously became the most trusted man in America, died Friday at the age of 92.I grew up listening to him and really don't remember other TV anchors of that era. It was an era when folks like Walter were reporters that seemed to project a journalistic integrity that we often miss these days.
May God comfort his family and friends.
I remember Frank Reynolds and Howard K. Smith from when I was growing up, too, but Cronkite was always the gold standard for network news anchors. As I sort of alluded on my blog post this morning on this same topic, I wish we had more like him today.
